Leicester reveal plans for winger wanted by Tottenham and Everton

Leicester manager Craig Shakespeare has told Tottenham and Everton target Damarai Gray he will get more game time this season amid rumours of the winger’s exit.

The 21-year-old’s future is believed to be dependent on whether he will play more this term after a stop-start campaign for the Foxes.

In quotes published by The Leicester Mercury, Shakespeare said: “I have spoke to him. I understand the frustration of young players expecting and wanting more time, but on the other hand they have to be respectful of their team-mates and who is in front of them.

“Hopefully he can get more game time. He’s a player of huge potential who is rated very highly here among the coaching staff and his own players.

“He’s a young lad and I understand the frustrations but hopefully this season we will see him playing more.”

Tottenham are in need of a winger so that they can change their attacking system when needed this season. Gray would be a decent acquisition, but Everton might be able offer him a better chance of regular football.
